A GPS chip was attached to a stork named 'Number 5', the offspring of
'Yaren', a stork that became famous for her years-long friendship with
fisherman Adem Yılmaz in Lake Uluabat, Bursa. 'Number 5' left Bursa
in August, two months after birth, and flew with a stork flock across
Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea to Jordan, where the GPS signal was
picked up again.
Subsequently, 'Number 5' flew to Chad, staying there for a month. Now,
the GPS signal has been tracked 'Number 5' to western Sudan, where the
GPS signal of another stork, named 'Klippi', has also been detected.
'Klippi' was given a GPS chip in 2018 by German researchers in Pörnbach
and followed across Turkey toward Africa but the signal was then lost.
The day before yesterday, though, 'Klippi''s signal appeared in a location
very close to 'Number 5''s in western Sudan.
Nature photographer Alper Tüydes said that "Klippi was last seen in Bursa,
where we took its picture. For two months there was no signal detected
but now a signal has come from Sudan, where 'Number 5' is also."
